The following outcome measures were evaluated: (1) Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for leg and back pain; (2) Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and Macnab\u00b4s criteria. All patients were operated upon with trans-tubular Translaminar Microscopic-assisted Percutaneous Nucleotomy (TL-MAPN). Perioperative radiographic and clinical evaluations were reported. The mean follow-up period was 32 months.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean age was 59 years. L4\/L5 was the commonest affected level (27 patients). The mean preoperative VAS for leg pain was 6.44 (\u00b12.06), improved to 0,35 (\u00b10.59) postoperatively. Dural injury occurred in 1 patient, treated with dural patch. Improved neurological function was reported in 41\/44 Patients (neurological improvement rate of 93%) at the final follow up. There was a significant improvement in the mean ODI values, from 50.19 \u00b1 4.92 preoperatively to 10.14 \u00b1 2.22 postoperatively (P &lt; 0.001). Sixty four out of 66 patients (96%) showed an excellent or good functional outcome according to Macnab\u00b4s criteria. No recurrent herniations were observed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The translaminar approach is a viable minimal invasive technique for cranially migrated LDH.
